We are bringing back one of the greatest, most memorable trips in YMCA history! The OVER-NIGHT TRIP to the BOSTON SCIENCE MUSEUM!! Join the YMCA staff on bus ride to Boston where we will land at the museum for lots of discovery and exploration! Activities include:

Hands-on workshops

A lightning presentation (it’s awesome!)

A planetarium show

An IMAX Film

And the best part…. Sleeping in the museum!

Kids will have the opportunity to learn about the wonders of science and beyond, plus create memories that we as YMCA staff still talk about with the kids that went on the trips with us!

This trip is for grades 2nd-5th. Children should be comfortable with spending a night away from home. Spaces fill up fast. We can only take 50 children. All children will receive a YMCA Boston Science Museum Trip T-Shirt.
